during the coming summer. Give Utah
American institutions, and her material
development will increase tenfold. The
busy mining camps from her mountain
tops will catch the first CLEANS OF light
from the Tucker Edmunds constellation,
and the wailings of SANITY and ousted
office-holders will be drowned amid the
shoutings OF the captains OF labor and the
clink OF circulating "dollars Of our dad
dies" Even King, OF the Southern ttdh
Times, ceases from crying, "Will this
dreamy, hazy, Indian summer last for
ever" and will better himself to furnish
the DEMOCRAT more mining items. The
few he gives us in his last issue are is
follows;
The Banner mine has about twenty
inches OF high grade ore exposed to
view.
The Eberhardt- Monitor mine is working
few men, several additional having been
put on since the winter iree2e-up OF the
mill.
| A new strike was made in the Argus
mine few days ago and the property is
turning out splendidly.
Hessell and Teeson shipped to River
mill last week about tons OF chloride
ore from the Kirby mine.
Considerable chloriders ore is now on
| the dumps waiting to be manipulated by
the B. n. & Co. teachers.
The Bailey, Nesbit & Co. teachers
have been closed down for several days
on account OF scarcity OF chemicals.
The Stormont mill still continues run
ming, cleaning up tailings. etc. At the
mines a force of nineteen men are en-
ployed, the majority Of whom are pros
pecting. The principal work being done
is the driving OF the 9th north and 9TH
south levels. Sinking is continued on
wines to north, and 6 to south and
cross-cut on 9th south.
Three miles north OF Frisco. high
above the surrounding porphyry, towers
the well-known peak OF the Quartzite.
Mineral has been found in its almost in
accessible crags, and the famous Me-
Fadden at one time thought fortune had
illumined his pick-point AS he
tore away chunks OF chloride from
their everlasting perch. But when
the cry came from Salmon
river that Owen Long and the boys were
taking out gold by the bushel, Mr.. Nc
Fadden turned his back on his friend, and
since then the Quartzite has been left to
the lone pine and scrub cedar. Some
day the lonely northern prospector will
learn that others are making a fortune
on the trail he made in the long ago.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The Jninvited and JnWelcOme
GueSt Becoming Numerous.

One OF the features OF recent social
gatherings has been the presence OF UNI
invited guests. At number OF recent
receptions the number OF people who
have stormed the houses without
invitations has been very large. Sew
eral ladies have spoken OF the
unusual number OF strangers who
have used their houses as freedmen sta
tons during reception hours. AT the
White House diplomatic reception the
crowd was excessive, owing to the TACT
that many people went there without an
invitation. The invitations which were
sent out included ladies of the families OF
those invited. This part OF the invi-
tation was construed with great lib
crafty by some of the invited guests
One public man brought with him
eleven ladies'. In the crowd which
struggled through to be presented
at the card reception was Il fat colored
dentist, who has the monopoly of the
colored trade OF South Washington. 1t
is possible that he may have been invited
to the Presidents diplomatic reception,
but it is hardly probable. Nearly all Of
the lawyers, real estate and insurance
agents were also seen in the crowd. AS
the invitations in the main were confined
to official circles, it was very easy to pick
out those who came as unbidden guests
have heard number of funny stories
about the freaks of the unlimited. At one
of Mrs. Whitney's card receptions last
winter she noticed group OF strangers,
supposed ladies', accompanied by male
parsonage, go up the stairs to the dress
ing-room. Mrs. Whitney prepared to
greet them on their return, as
they were among the last OF the arrivals.
But when these strangers descended
they rushed through to the ball
room, avoiding Mrs. Whitney and con-
cealing themselves as soon as possible in
| the general crowd, showing that they
were not invited guests. Up. to that time
they had not been suspected, and if they
had the effrontery to 90 through the
regular form OF presenting themselves to
the hostess OF the evening they would
have doubtless passed unsupported.
AT the large receptions of promi-
| nent officials many people are invited
| whose faces are unfamiliar or even un-
known to the host and hostess. 1t is
said that Mr.. Evarts, when he was Sec
rotary OF State, stopped giving card re-
| ceptions on account Of the way his
| hospitality was abused. At one par
| ticular reception he had provided re-
freshments in great abundance for
the entire number OF people invited.
| During the reception the refreshments
| gave out ut IL very early hour, showing
the presence OF Us large a number OF un-
invited guests rs those invited. 1t is
| said that this was the reason why Mr..
Evarts stopped giving receptions, al
though this is probably no' the true
reason - ITashja0to0 LrItr.

AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
Joseph Hedges Identified as the
COwardly Assailant.

Last evening shortly after 7 o'clock q
little girl named Emily Gill, who lives
half block south OF the Utah Central
depot, started from home to the store
around the Exchange Hotel corner.
While the child was walking up the track
she was stopped by q young fellow about
20 years old, who turns out to be one
Joseph Hedges, residing in the Twentieth
ward. The brute made indecent proposals
to the, girl and when she resented these
he clutched her throat and threw
her to the ground, but her screams
frightened him so that he left her and
fed. Joe Barlow, the Waterman at the
Utah Central depot, heard the girls calls,
and seeing the man run up South Temple
street, he hurried after him and soon
caught him. By this time crowd had
gathered around, and the frightened girl
told her story, while the police were
called and Hedges was hurried off to Jail.
1t was thought that the case would be
tried at 2 O'Clock this afternoon, and the
court room was literally jammed with
men, but they were all disappointed, as
the case went over until 10 a. m. to-mor-
row.
While the courtroom was still crowded
the girl was brought in and asked which
OF the men it was who assaulted, her and
after looking all around the room her eye
fell on Hedges and she Immediately
pointed him out saying, CHATS the one. !"
Hedges went into the courtroom with
grin on his face, which would indicate
that he is either too hardened or else too
simple to realize the seriousness OF his
position.

ouILEN,s NEW HOTEL.
heHnmdsome Building Now Being
Completed.

For many months past the handsome
brick structure being built by Mr.. Matt
Cullen on Second South street, just east
Of the DEMOCRAT office, has attracted
more attention than any venture OF the
kind that Salt Lake has yet seen.
From the foundation to the roof the
building is picture Of solidity, the
brick part oi the structure resting on
immensely thick sandstone walls. The
'front.' which is OF brown stone, is by lar
the handsomest piece OF work OF the kind
to be found in this Territory, and its
novel construction entirely relieves the
monotony of the immense height, and
when the scaffolding is torn from the
front, the sight revealed will be a great
surprise to many.
The building is five stories high the
front 81 feet and the length l52 feet.
The building will contain l2S rooms.
The parlors and dining room will occupy
the greater part OF the second and
third floors. The first floor will,
OF course, contain the office, bar
and billiard room, etc, etc, and the
basement will be devoted to the barber
SDOp, DatnS, eIC. Inc Deu-TOOulS are All
good-sized, with provisions for ample
ventilation, and the entire building will
be heated by steam, and lighted with
incandescent lights.
To the rear Of the main building there
will be large two-story brick structure,
to be used as kitchen, laundry, engine
room, etc.
Everything in and about the hotel will
be strictly first-class. The finish ant
furnishings OF the house will be rich ant
beautiful and it will doubtless far surpasi
all other hotels in the Territory. There
will be ample provisions in the way o
fire escapes, and the staircases and al
improved hydraulic elevator will further
facilitate access and egress to and from
| the upper stories.
The outlay of 100000 by Mr. Cutler
in so worthy an enterprise is standing
compliment to the gentleman, making
further praise superauous. That the ven
ture will prove an undoubted success i
assured by the interest that the publ
has already shown.

RAILWAY RUMBLES.
Personal and General Notes of Local
Interest.

The Union Pacific people are working
a large force OF men on the Kansas eX.
tensions recently laid out by them, and
as soon as the weather opens will cover
| their entire rights OF way with men and
| teams. Extensive preparations are now
being made for change OF gauge in the
Kansas Central Railway, which is con
trolled by the Union Pacific. The ties
laid on this line were for narrow-gauge
road, consequently it will require good
deal of labor to change the gauge. Nc
time has as yet been set for the event
but it will be probably be done at once
Kansas city Times.
Last evenings train from the North
was one hour late, by latest reports. The
U. 7. came in all right again after a
serious interruption for two days.
The U. p. excursionists left for Cali
fornia last evening.
The local railway offices are rushed
with the usual monthly business.
The ticket business is dull just now.
1t is reported that there are now eight
Utah q Northern and four Oregon Short
Line engines awaiting repairs at Sho-
shone, but owing to the removal OF the
shops the work cannot be done. Super
intendent Dickinson is now up North and
there is PROBABILITY that the contem-
plated and partial removal of the shops
from that place will receive a quietus.
Superintendent Sharp OF the Utah Cen
trail is in Boston, presumably on business
connected with the extension of the Y.
p, over his road to California.
N. G. Ray came in on Saturday from
Feely, where he has a surveying party
OF sixteen men at work cutting down the
grade OF the Feely hill, and changing the
alignment somewhat. The party has
about three weeks work to do at Feely
and goes thence to Glen, where work Of
the same nature is to be done. The work
is all being done with view to making
the Utah 4 Northern standard gauge
from Pocatello to Silver Bow This, Mr.
Ray thinks, will be accomplished by the
middle OF July. No work is being done
at present in the Big Hole canyon. Mr..
Ray says there is not great deal OF snow
in the vicinity OF Dillon and Glen, but
plenty about Red Rock-Aaacoud Re-

The territory Of Moresnet, near Aix-la-

distinction Of being the smallest State in

THE BLACK FLAG"
A Rather Dizzy Performance at the
Theatre Last Evening.

The performance of "The Black Flag"
at the Theatre last evening by Edwin
Thorne and his company was SO near to
being positively bad that it would be diff
ficult to tell just where the line is drawn.
Thorne gives good portrayal OF part
that is entirely lacking in all that goes to
make up the usual dramatic hero, but
this is about all that can be said of him.
Owing to the illness of his leading lady,
the part was given to Miss Ruth Jones, a
Salt Lake amateur; and, althoudh she
did very well considering the disad-
vantages under which she labored, the
whole effect was to add tameness to the
already rocky play The support was
fair with one or two eXceptions-the only
objection to the old man being that he
was slugged out OF the play an act or two
too late.
The piece took immensely with the
galleries, and it is not strange that their
more elevated imaginations should catch
on to the beauties of the piece. 1t goes
again tonight.
